managed care or medicare advantage expenditures for medicare increased 21.3% in 2008. and although this is a higher growth rate than fee-for-service it accounts for a much smaller share of total medicare spending. and most of this growth was due to growth and enrollment. enrollment in medicare advantage grew 13.6%. when you look at per enrollee spending figures, actually medicare advantage increases only 6.8%, and that's compared to 5.8% of overall medicare spending per enrollee. looking at medicaid expenditures now, you can also see it decelerated from 6.1% in 2007 to this was the slowest rate of growth since 199 with the exception of 2006 when part d was implemented. the 2008 deceleration was driven by a deceleration in hospital spending, and also due to budgetary challenges that were faced by several states that resulted in reduced medicaid payments to providers. in addition, in part due to the american reinvestment and recovery act, a temporary chiang in f map percentages caused a decline in$e state and local portionç of medicaid. while the federal portion accele

i think that, you know, those concerns were concerns about what happened to medicare. you don't think that republicans would be the defenders of medicare but that's exactly what happened because that's what their constituents wanted them to be. politicians are followers. they're not leaders by and large. very early on when it looked like president obama with absolutely ironclad strong when he had 70% approval rating you saw folks like eric cantor saying we don't like reed and pelosi but we like president obama. that tone shifted when the conservative grass roots shifted. that was a basic political miscalculation. cynthia makes a reasonable point. had the president focused for example on some kind of medicaid reform on expanding access to medicare that would have been a shrewd incremental strategy that democrats could have built on. instead it was something that was very, very hard to sell to the rank-and-file voteres in the middle and some on the central right. >> brown: i have to ask you in our last time because we're in the journalistic time of looking at one year. b
